DOUBLE ROYAL JESS (6) hit the frame two starts ago at Zia Park but ran below par last time when seventh and beaten 1.1 lengths over 3f213yards at Zia Park (Dirt). Has the ability to return to form. FAUZETA'S FLAME (9) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing 6 lengths from the winner in fifth over 3f213yards at this track (Dirt). Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. T KAYOH (5) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 3f213yards at Zia Park (Dirt) after being in the firing line all the way. Has the ability to build on that encouraging effort last start. FAVORITE VALENTINE Z (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1f130yards at Zia Park, beaten 1.1 lengths into fourth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
